Dreamers: Venture Into The New World

Chapter 4: The Mysteriously Ordinary Pirates

While on the ship, one of the ten men approached Gary and Miles and gave the two of them two pieces of dry cloth to rub and dry themselves.

"Ahoy," Gary smirked.

The man who approached them looked at the rest of the men and they all started laughing, leaving Gary and Miles in confused expression.

"We're not that type of people, my friend," the man explained, "We are pirates yet we don't speak those 'ahoy' and other stereotypical pirate speaks in general."

"Boring," Gary mumbled.

"Did you say something?" the man asked.

"Oh, sorry, he just doesn't want lengthy conversations," Miles excused, "Maybe we should just introduce ourselves to each other, alright?"

"Alright," the man agreed.

"Tch," Gary dismissed.

"I'm Princess Celestia," Miles introduced herself, "This is my servant, Gary."

"Servant?" Gary thought, "Now she's taking my first impression of her for granted!"

The man is about to introduce himself as well but Gary walks towards a corner of the ship.

"Hey, get back here!" Miles called, "Gary!"

Gary didn't turn around to look at Miles no matter how much she calls him as if he can't hear all of her calls. Miles had no choice but to come after him.

"Sorry, but let's save the introductions for later," Miles apologized, "I have to talk with him."

Miles ran towards Gary who is standing on a corner of the ship.

"Is something the matter?" Miles asked.

Gary looked at Miles with a blank expression before looking back at the sea. Miles then walked in front of Gary.

"How rude," Miles commented, "Why are you ignoring me, Gary?"

"It's nothing," Gary dismissed, "Go ahead and chit-chat with those men, princess."

Miles paused for a second. She thought of something that she might had Gary mad about something.

"Is it because of what I said to those pirates?" Miles softly asked.

"You said it," Gary shrugged, "Not I."

"So, you're making a big deal out of it?" Miles asked, "I didn't know you were that childish, Gary."

"You're such a hypocrite, Miles," Gary growled.

"Excuse me?" Miles asked, "Did you just call me a hypocrite?"

"Well, you're calling yourself a princess, Gary replied, "And what did you call me again? Oh yeah, a servant, right?"

"I thought you might find that funny," Miles sad mumbled, "Come on, a simple introduction would be so boring."

"But you should've thought of something else to call me!" Gary complained, "It makes me feel you're intentionally insulting me!"

Miles is about to answer back, but another one of the crew members stood in between them.

"That's enough," the man restrained them, "We should continue getting to know each other."

"Not interested," Gary dismissed.

"Don't mind him," Miles advised, "He just needs to be alone.

"Okay then," the man replied.

"My name is Fred," the man introduced himself, "I am the shipwright of this ship and it is up to me to fix this and the relationship of the people on board!"
